Dancing in the Rain
On a sultry summer Sunday
With the breeze hushed all on the way
A young man just in his mid age
Wearied to leaf his books` pages
Strode for a rumble in a park
Before bells tolled the six hours` mark.
Half an hour of reclusive stroll
Restored peace to his lonely soul
And raised his jaded spirit high;
Yet casting his glance at the sky
He eyed dark clouds veiling the sun
Far away in the horizon.
It started to rain gently first,
Then in torrents to quench earth`s thirst;
The park offered no shelter free
But for a gigantic oak tree
Where the young man repaired with haste
Not to be drenched with much disgrace.
Soon a distant bell chimed six times,
A shy full moon with timid shines,
Draped with the clouds, made a grim smile
And a chic crow croaked with a guile.
Lo! The man seemed to hear a groan
More akin to a nearby moan.
From where such a moan could gush out
Wondered the man with grains of doubt!
Turning round, he was wonderstruck
To spot a lovely lass as such
All dressed in perfect snowy white
Standing erect by the tree site.
“What interest has brought you here?”
The man ventured to ask with fear.
“The same interest as you friend,”
Was the lady`s rely at hand.
Intrigued, the man to probe did dare:
“Where do you reside lady fair?”
“I dwell on this gigantic tree,”
Responded the lady carefree.
Instantly she stepped in the rain
Started to dance as free from chain
Chanting with air a lyric song
That she did like and she did long:
“Let`s dance in the rain, in the rain
Come and be my twain, be my twain
Let us not worry, not worry
Let us be free, let us be free
Life is not vain, life is not vain,
Let`s dance in the rain, in the rain”.
At the sight of the lady`s toes
Not on ground, but hanging as crows,
The young man shuddered with fierce fright,
Much to the lady`s grim delight,
And took to his heel in the rain
Pledging the tree not to regain.
